The song I chose tells the adventure of a couple wonderer-rockers who composed the best song ever written and heard just to win a challenge and defeat a "demon" who appeared in the middle of the road. In this song, the guys didn't rememeber what they composed, so they did a "tribute", I love this song for its wits, originallity and progressively speeding rythm.

Tenacious D - Tribute (Spotify)

The song is about adventure, about a challenge, about and epic fight (with music) and about a victory. There is also a bit of nostalgia, since the song is a "tribute" to the best song in the world, which they don't remember anymore.

I choose two emotions from this:

Tenacious D - Tribute - image 2 - student project

From the Nostalgic emotion, I selected the opposite color in the pallete

From the Victorious emotion, I used a different approach to create the pallete, selecting 4 colors:

Tenacious D - Tribute - image 5 - student project

Tenacious D - Tribute - image 6 - student project

and

Tenacious D - Tribute - image 7 - student project

Tenacious D - Tribute - image 8 - student project

With these colors, I started to paint, but given that is my first time in more than 25 years painting with aquarelas, that I used regular office white paper, and that I don't have much experience paiting I got something not quite perfect :-( ... I tried to use some effects, but I failed there too hehehe In the end I just managed to put some extra color.
